STREET TO STREET

STREET TO STREET puts street youth in Freetown in touch with students in the UK via online video blogs. S2S offers students worldwide the opportunity to engage directly with street youth in Sierra Leone, via video and an internet forum. 6 young people aged 12 – 16 in Freetown upload weekly videos, so students from several schools can respond, asking questions and building relationships. For the street children from Freetown too there was a considerable impact, as we tried to assist them off the streets and into education. Since it began in January 2010 all 6 young people have a place to sleep and are in some level of education. Street to Street is designed as a long term, user led project, allowing relationships to build and understanding to grow over time.
“Street to Street fits perfectly with Citizenship and Geography themes in school, particularly in developing empathy and taking steps to overcome stereotypes” Chestnut Grove School.
